for at least the next six months,” the forecast said, “so flood prone areas are August now marks the fourth month in a row that at least some of the Great Lakes have tied or broken high water levels. In the past, the pier has been higher than the water.Additionally, water has gotten warmer earlier than normal at Lake Michigan. But last month, Lake Michigan broke a 33-year-old record high, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Lake Superior is forecasted to remain at its current level.Despite The water level of Lake Michigan continues to rise after generally staying below long term average values for over a decade. Lakes Michigan-Huron averaged 16.5″ higher in December 2019 compared to December 2018. 2h ago Lead Great Lakes Levels Forecast Supervisor Keith Kompoltowicz of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said to expect very high and record levels for the … Today Lake ice normally piles up along beaches and dunes, but we have had many mild winters lately with little or no shore ice, let alone ice far out into the lakes, at least on the Lake MIchigan side. 53550 Generations Drive South Bend, IN 46635 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that According to the Army Corps of Engineers, the water will now start to recede through the rest of the year.The Lake Michigan-Lake Huron basin is now one inch lower than this time in July with Lake Erie falling three inches. “In the southern area, Racine County, the low bluffs are feeling the effects already. Despite the dry month of July, the Great Lakes water levels are still smashing records into August. Erie and Ontario are expected to see significant decreases due to a large increase in dam releases along the St. Lawrence Seaway falling five and seven inches respectively.

There is good news though! Lake Michigan in South Haven Friday, July 19, 2018. You might remember swimming around the 4th of July holiday.
High erosion along the shoreline, property damage, and numerous rounds of flooding from highs winds blowing already high waters onshore. “This involves a system of equations that will allow us to better predict when landslides will occur, based on factors that make them more likely. “It takes several years for a change at the toe to impact crest line, so even if the lake goes down, we expect some further erosion.”This bluff, in Ozaukee County, shows the complex sedimentary deposits in a 120-foot bluff along Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan shoreline. This means water level is nearly three feet above normal. This will help dry up some water by causing a faster rate of evaporation.The Cardinals feel they're poised for another deep run after winning their first state title in school history a year ago.Gov. A six-month lake level forecast from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers on Monday shows that Lakes Michigan and Huron are expected to be 2-5 inches above record levels through August. While water levels are starting to recede as fall approaches, the impact of the high levels continue to concern officials. There is good news though! This data from The high water levels are very evident at the pier at Silver Beach. Now, we can very rapidly acquire wave data, and use affordable, sophisticated instruments for monitoring groundwater, which may be the largest single variable explaining bluff collapse.” water levels and potentially record high water levels are expected to persist Winter is historically when water levels recede in the Great Lakes. (NOAA.GLERL)DETROIT (WOOD) — For the first time in months, water levels on Lake Michigan are expected to drop over the next month.The Already, several structures have been removed in Racine County, and people are more and more concerned.”Rawling and Lucas Zoet, an assistant professor of geoscience at University of Wisconsin–Madison, are more than one year into a project sponsored by Wisconsin Sea Grant aimed at a better understanding how the bluffs erode, and what triggers their collapse.Lake Michigan’s level is not controlled by a dam, but rather by rainfall minus evaporation and water flowing out through the St. Clair River.Since the last high level 25 years ago, “that’s an entire career at the DNR, the university, local managers, and landowners,” says Rawling.
Thus the three groundwater wells drilled this January in Warnimont park in Milwaukee are key to understanding landslides.Groundwater monitoring wells in Warnimont Park, Milwaukee, are being used to evaluate how fluctuating groundwater level affects bluff stability.
